The latest addition. This was from the shake down ride a couple weeks ago hence the unwrapped bars.
Got a few items I'm looking to unload Dura Ace 7800 10 speed rear derailleur short cage excellent condition - $70 Dura Ace front derailleur 31.8 clamp bottom pull excellent condition $30 Ultegra 10 speed cassette 12-27…
I run a Jones loop on my Karate Monkey. It's my favorite bar for sure. I highly recommend using an Ergon style grip with the Jones bars. it's super comfortable.

I ride/ rode the following: Brooks B17 - much love Brooks Aged Champion Flyer - love but it's really heavy Brooks Swift - meh. too Narrow for me. Brooks B68 - Nice and wide love it but I broke the rear metal plate where…
Night rides for sure! As a father of three small children if I want to get any decent mileage in, it's night rides or nothing. I've found that if I can only have one light the helmet light is the way to go but nothing…
There's gravel under there somewhere....

It's funny that you posted this because I am in the same boat. I was just wondering where I fit into all of this. I like to ride hard but I am not a racer. I ride for fun. I have enough stress in my life without…
The Fasterkatt's look like a great transitonal piece i.e. early spring/ fall when it's a bit too warm to wear the Wolvhammer's but too cold for your summer shoes (I don't own booties)... I have a pair of the Wolvhammers…

In my mind this is the the true spirit of a Gravel Bike. Finding a frame and making it work. Nothing too fancy but nothing cheap. Just solid and reliable. Thanks for posting. I'll be following your build.
On my Bridgestone I run 38/48 biopace with a 9 speed 11/34 in the back. I run an MTB triple with a 9 speed cassette on all of my other bikes.
I absolutely love BMC Monster Cross. Nice looking build!
@bluesdawg Looks like you've got some nice roads around there
I had a set but sold 'em.. The build quality was great but, I found the ergonomics a little awkward. I probably should have kept them because I find myself wanting to give them another shot.
